Chapter 228: Mu Agarwood's Choice
It was already after noon when I got back to the house. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Zheng Qianqian followed Yan Hanyu to Mingruo Courtyard.
Yan Jingxiang listened to Yan Hanyu's words, went back to admit her mistake to the Lu family, and told her what happened in Shangyifang. Although Lu was angry, he endured it first, and asked her how she felt after reading the accounts of the two families.
Yan Jingxiang said her doubts, the price will change every season, winter clothes have the price of winter clothes, spring clothes have the price of spring clothes, and each material will be very different, but if ordinary cotton and silk satin have a price, there must be a problem.
When Lu heard about it, he also took her words to heart, and asked people to go to Shangyifang to take the account books of the last two months to read.
In previous years, Lu's audit was in the middle of the year and at the end of the year, and the monthly accounts were spot-checked, and there would be no major problems if there was no difference in the general ledger.
Mr. Tian has been a shopkeeper in Shangyifang for six years, and was hired by the Lu family because of his sincerity and good credit. Now I am greedy for silver, although it is not much silver, it is all a fraction, but in the end I am still greedy.
It is precisely because there is not much greed that the shopkeeper Tian has a fluke mentality, and takes advantage of the late spring time of the year when he does not check the accounts to make profits, and the accounts can be flattened by the middle of the year, and the accounts sent to Lu's hands are seamless account books. In this way, the shopkeeper learned this skill, greedy for profit, and made his family rich in the past two years.
This time, after the matter of the shopkeeper Tian was found out by the Lu family, he naturally would not continue to hire him and was dismissed.
Because the shopkeeper Tian has also done his best to take care of the shop in recent years, the Lu family did not take back the silver, and only fired the shopkeeper Tian.
The Lu family was extremely satisfied with Yan Jingxiang's performance this time, and the girl in her family was not useless after all.
Zheng Qianqian's first visit to Yan's Mansion was a high-rise mansion with a deep courtyard, which was no different from the Horse Mansion. It was only clear that the courtyard was clear and cold, and there was no one moving around, which made her puzzled.
"Isn't there anyone where you live?
"This is Mingruo Temple, just me live with my mother. ”
"Where's your father?"
No one has ever asked her like this, Yan Hanyu was stunned for a long time, and then frowned, "I passed away." ”
Zheng Qianqian didn't expect it, and waved her hand again and again, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say it, I don't know, I really don't know." ”
"The county lord does not have to blame himself, and those who do not know are not guilty. "Nobody has to know about someone else's house.
Besides, her father has passed away for so many years, how many people can remember?
What Yan Hanyu likes is Zheng Qianqian's pure temperament, which is very similar to Shizuka, but she loves to talk more than Shizuka, so she is willing to make friends.
"You're so lonely here, I'll often come to you to play in the future. ”
Yan Hanyu said with a smile, "Thank you for the kindness of the county lord, it's just that I usually do a lot of homework, and I'm afraid that I will neglect the county lord." "It's okay to come once or twice once in a while, but she really doesn't know if she has time to entertain too many times.
"Do you have homework too?" Zheng Qianqian complained, "My mother didn't let me learn things, can I eat those things?" She herself knows a few words, read a few books, and even let me learn the piano and play chess, in order to let me learn those things and still hungry me, I would rather eat two more bowls of rice, and I can't eat those things......"
"My grandfather said that reading books is to discern things and learning calligraphy is to hone resilience, but everyone has their own ambitions and should not be forced. ”
"That's exactly the reason, when I go back, I want to tell my mother, everyone has their own ambitions, how can I force my studies?"
Yan Hanyu smiled bitterly, "The county lord can't say that I said it, otherwise Hanyu will be reprimanded by the eldest princess." ”
"Don't worry, I won't tell my mother, you're my good friend. ”
In just half a day, Zheng Qianqian regarded Yan Hanyu as a close friend in her boudoir and talked about everything.
Thunder bursts, turning into dark clouds.
Yan Hanyu sat at the desk and listened to the pouring rain on the blue bricks and blue tiles outside the window.
Good rain knows the season, when spring happens.
Spring is gone and summer is solstice, and this heavy rain is heralding the approaching summer.
This year has been rainy, but it has been a good year.
Yan Hanyu stayed in the house, and suddenly heard that someone was visiting, and this person was Yan Jiamu.
Seeing Yan Jiamu coming with Mu Agarwood, Yan Hanyu was a little surprised.
Uncle Jiutang's sudden visit really flattered Hanyu. ”
Now Yan Jiamu is not as immature as a few years ago, and he has added three points of calmness. During the holidays, she rarely sees him.
Yan Jiamu smiled heartily, "The little girl at the beginning is now even better-looking, I almost dare not admit it." ”
Yan Hanyu raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Thank you Uncle Jiutang for your praise." ”
"You don't know anything about modesty. ”
Yan Hanyu pursed her lips and smiled, and asked, "What is the matter with Uncle Jiutang coming to me?"
Yan Jiamu pulled Agarwood who was following behind him to him, "It's Agarwood who wants to come to see you, so I brought her here." ”
Seeing that they didn't shy away from it, Yan Hanyu was stunned, "Uncle Jiutang and Agarwood ......"
The words are not finished.
Mu Agarwood's eyes drooped and he held his expression.
"If you have something to say, I'll go out first. Yan Jiamu avoided this topic, lowered his head and whispered to Mu Agarwood, "I'm waiting for you outside." ”
This tone is completely devoid of the previous flamboyance.
Mu Agarwood nodded in response, "Hmm." ”
Waiting for Yan Jiamu to go out, Mu Agarwood was blessed, "Miss." ”
"I don't have anyone else here, why do I need to be formal?" Yan Hanyu helped her up, "Sit here and talk." ”
Mu Agarwood only sat down for half a corner when he sat down, and he was a little at a loss.
"It's been a long time since I've spoken to anyone, and I just want to come and talk to you. She whispered.
"Sister Agarwood......
Mu Shenxiang looked up at those clear and clear eyes, with tears in her eyes at the moment, and almost choked up, "Thank you for being willing to treat me as a friend." ”
"What are you talking about? If I am such a person, why would I be willing to make friends with you?" Yan Hanyu blamed herself, "It's just that something happened to you, and I couldn't help you." And you ignored me for those two years, and I don't know how to help you. ”
Mu Agarwood has been sold into slavery, how dare she be a good friend again?
She lowered her head and exhaled, "With the words of the eldest lady, I am not aggrieved in my life." ”
This sentence reminded Yan Hanyu of Mu Agarwood in the past, who was a smart, lively and unrestrained little lady, but now she can't see the shadow of the past at all. Her eyes were covered with a layer of gloom, and her gestures were all subservient and tame.
Yan Hanyu couldn't help but feel sour.
"Sister Agarwood, if you want to get rid of slavery...... she wants to help her!
Mu Shenxiang declined, "I appreciate the kindness of the eldest lady." I'm fine now, and the eldest lady doesn't have to bother with me. ”
Yan Hanyu couldn't see where she was doing now, but Mu Agarwood didn't need her help, and she was helpless.
"Sister Agarwood......
"I have decided to be a concubine. ”
"Agarwood ......"
"It's my choice, it's my destiny. Mu Agarwood said, "Miss, I know what you have to say, but I have already chosen to take this path." Even if I was unwilling to be a concubine at that time, my father was even more unwilling. But now in this world, except for Yan Jiamu, I have no other relatives, so I can only follow him. ”
It's her choice!
That bright girl can't go back, she resigned herself to her fate, she compromised! Yan Hanyu couldn't say words of persuasion anymore. She respects her ideas!
"If one day you need help, come to me. That's all she can do. (To be continued.) )
